Apparently the current regime has no interest in bringing Ezekiel Elliott back. While not spectacular, I thought he was decent. Two fumbles in 235 touches was too many in their eyes?

The Boston Globe’s Christopher Price reports that the Patriots have not had conversations with running back Zeke Elliott about bringing him back for 2024. The signing of running back Antonio Gibson gives New England a versatile back that will ease the impact of not being able to keep Elliott. Still, Elliott ended up being a solid addition last season, especially after Rhamondre Stevenson got hurt, so it would be great if they could keep him around.​
